So we have been counted and we have been opinionated, but what about forumer facts?
It is well known that a lot of people have met and made friends here. There have been love connections here. And we have, sadly, lost friends we met on here. So what I thought would be cool (and leave a much nicer impression than the opinion thread, I hope) would be if everybody came together and talked about how they met people they met, how people got together, something funny that happened, anything that you feel up to sharing that is factual.
Why? Well, I'm sitting in the middle of a freezing, crappy mall with no customers to speak of and 5 more hours left in my shift. So tell me a story!
I've met a ton of people through PAXs and some local stuff.
Just the other day, Langly threw a game night and I joined him, Bale, Avi and lostwords to play Betrayal at the House on the Hill and it was pretty fantastic.
At PAX 08, I shared a room with Fishman, mully and Bombardier. Fishman and I shared a bed and that's probably the hottest person I've ever slept with.
At PAX East last year, I showed up at a sports bar with my friend Bill and FencingSax. After getting a phone call from a group heading over, I told the guy at the bar that we had maybe 10 people total. He told us to grab a table upstairs. About 30 minutes later, we had around 30 people crammed in there, and it was great. Great became better when out of the blue Sheri showed up and stole the spotlight (attention whore ! )
I would love to go to PAX, but I'm not sure when I'd be able to afford it. Plane tickets are expensive when you don't earn much. I'd love to meet some of you guys.
I shared drunken street meat with Tank, VoC, and Usagi at PAXEast and asked some random dude on the bus to play a Legend of Zelda tune on his guitar he was noodling around on.
Pretty much all the FL forumers I've met have been rad, as was everyone at PAXEast.

I've never been to a PAX, or any other sort of forum gathering, so I've never met any of you in person.
So I'll give you real factual facts about myself instead.
I got married last summer, my wife was pregnant shortly afterward. She had a miscarriage, which sucked. But now we are buying a house and are trying to get pregnant again, so hopefully everything will work out this time.
I've never been to PAX, and it looks like I won't be able to afford it this year either, but god damn I'm going to go some day. The main attraction wouldn't even really be PAX itself, but getting to meet a lot of you crazy fuckers in person.

I really hope you don't mind me asking, but how far along were you and your wife?
PAX was neat, no one knew who i was here but in the end i won them over with my charm and wit. Meaning at the end basically no one knew who i was still.
I have met Ginger Mijango and Wickerbasket when we all headed to Edinburgh to intercept tyrannus during his UK tour
Thus far they are the only PAers I have met
We ate the best burger in the world and mocked tyr's lack of Brit-savvy (including an inexplicable hole in his knowledge when it came to the Union Jack), they were good times
I was the meat in a butters-Neville sandwich one time. I slept so good that night. I've also shared a bed with stale. And NaC. And next to the air mattress of Crackedlens. My goal is to spoon with everyone on the forums, you see

I've probably made a thousand enemies with this post.

That is silly.

Possibly more so.
his name isn't Roy
Do not believe him if he tells you his name is Roy.
I'm totally going to try to go to PAX this year.
I think there were tater-tots involved?
I met Zonugal through work and he led me here and I met you all on.
I also chatted with like two forum people last PAX.
well if i lose my job i guess
i guess that would stop me

they were damn good hot dogs
oh and one time I ate found cookies with a bunch of people.
Were there tots involved? The poutine tots at the Lower Depths are siiiick, broooo.
I'm actually more bearded now.
EDIT: and proportionally less suave.
i have many forumer stories but today is too busy for me to post them
NEXT TIME THREAD
Oh god I'd totally forgotten about the bank fraud part

This next PAX I plan on spending more time with ya'll
I really hope you don't mind me asking, but how far along were you and your wife?
We were at about 8 or 9 weeks.
Thus far they are the only PAers I have met

They sell you booze in the registration line.

We're still taking therapy a day at a time

A noble endeavor.
